Re: [Pharo-dev] widgetDo: vs ifWidget:

Hi,

in Spec Adapter there's method

widgetDo: aBlock ^ self widget ifNotNil: aBlock

my question however is: does the naming make sense?

#*Do: is generally associated with iterating over collections. Widget is always a single entity. On the other hand we have #ifNil: #ifTrue: #ifFalse:

There is also #ifNotNilDo:, however that is superseded by #ifNotNil:

So from this perspective, wouldn't it make more sense to have this? ifWidget: aBlock ^ self widget ifNotNil: aBlock

I prefer widgetDo: because this if logic is not really good and the user should not be exposed

What do you think?

Thanks, Peter
